How did you meet your spouse?

[Sara luvs her Tinky]

Yes!! marriage is the last thing in the world you should be thinking about at 19! I got married when I was 21 and it was wayyy to early! Maybe that is just my opinion though. I knew my husband since I was 17, we were friends in highschool... and we were only engaged 7 months when we were married.

It was a HUGE mistake! I wish I would have waited. What I learned though is not to settle! , that being with someone shouldn't come with a price. Make sure that you find exactly what makes you happy! Marriage is costly especially when you get divorced!

Just spend time getting to know yourself... because even though you are 19 you still have a lot of growin up to do.... and the only person that can really make you happy is yourself! (and your furry ones!!!!!)

and i wouldn't say meeting someone in a bar or club would be the right place. chances are you will grow out of that scene one day and he may not.. and you wouldn't want someone you love clubbing and barring when you want them to spend time at home wth you. I agree with everyone else... i think the place i would want to meet someone is somewhere where we have the same interest....

I Met my Husband at the age of 18, I had been in the army for a year, and he came in one day, and I just was drawn to him, and actually ended up working with him for some time. He was going through a divorce at the time, and I was not interested in anything from him. so we just were friends for over a year. I went away for 6 months, and when i came back home, he called me up out of the blue and asked me out! I was so nervous, but we have been soul-mates ever since. we moved in with each other after 3 months of dating. We got married when I was 21. He is my life, people gave us some grief at the time we started dating because he was 10 yrs older than me, but we are a perfect match, aand of course I am still More mature than he is! We have been together for 10yrs and married for 8! I truly believe we will be together for ever!

This is a great thread!

I "met" Mark when I was a little kid -- like 6 or 7 years old. My parents were friends with his parents, and I would see their family about once or twice a year (they lived 5 hours from us). When I was around 13, I developed a huge crush on Mark that has never gone away. Little did I know that he also had a crush on me all that time.

When I was 18, my brother moved into his area to go to grad school, and I would come visit my brother often; and so saw a lot more of Mark, too. In July of 1996, we went to a picnic (there were about 50 people there) and we had our first "serious" conversation. It wasn't long after that in September when we started writing, got engaged in November, and were married the following May 1997. I can't believe that it is 10 years that we have been inseparable, and have loved every single minute of it.

So my advice to you is, do not settle for anything less than the best. Find happiness WHEREVER you are in your life, and when that special person comes along, they are just adding to your already awesome life.

Wow! That has been 36 years ago! We met through his brother, who was dating my sister at the time. We double dated for about a year, fought all the time, until we finally decided to get married. That was a little over 36 years ago! We have been together ever since! We have had Three children, and five grandchildren, from the ages of 13 years to 6 months.
